Our friend Charlie has taken a year off from being a doctor and is traveling around the world. Africa, Bali, South America...and Raleigh/Durham. Which does not fit? Anyway, we were lucky that his layover in NYC included 4 days in North Carolina.
Charlie was scheduled to show up on Thursday in time for dinner which Shawna had arranged to have at our house. We then got an email from Charlie that...surprise....he missed his flight in NYC, was being routed through Minneapolis, and would now get in after 10pm. So, we promptly called John and Joanna and asked them to be our back-up dates for dinner. Not surprisingly, they quickly accepted!
Friday morning, Keith introduced Charlie to the WaDuke trail. We met John/JoAnna at our house on the Friday night for drinks, followed by drinks at the Wine Bar, followed by dinner at The Lantern.

On Saturday, we hung out at the pool, got in a workout, and prepared to host (in conjunction with Keith/Kate) our Suppa Club, with the theme of "Thanksgiving in May". This was a good way to introduce a pom to local cuisine - including deep friend turkey, jello salad, and all the fixin's. It was gorgeous weather so we all ate outside on the deck.
Sunday we ran the golf course again to work off 5% of the weight from the night before, then met Steph at Fosters for a quick lunch. That afternoon Keith had to fly to Denver and Charlie back to NYC for his flight to Caracas the next day, so we said our goodbyes.
